Chapter 006: The Knocker in the Middle of the Night
After getting along for a few days, Zhao Yi found that Xiao Liren was quite good, she just loved gossip, and she didn't know why she kept misunderstanding Zhao Yi and Ye Tao, so she smiled and said to Zhao Yi before going to bed: "Sister Zhao, go find your big brother!"
Zhao Yi felt that something was not quite right when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Xiao Li meant, but Xiao Li's expression didn't look like a joke.
"Xiaoli, why do you want to go to the big brother?" Zhao Yi said curiously.
Xiao Li just lay down, sat up in surprise, and said with an innocent smile: "Because Sister Zhao also wants to rest!"
Zhao Yi was even more curious, and asked, "Then I'm resting here, why do I want to find the eldest brother?"
Xiao Li scratched his head suspiciously, seemed to think for a while, and asked, "Sister Zhao, isn't the eldest brother your lover?"
Zhao Yi has always been a dislike of laughing, but at the moment she laughed with a snort, "Xiaoli, you little girl, you are only nine years old, no matter how you think about it, it's all about children's affection, it's very dangerous!"
But Xiao Li said very seriously: "Sister Zhao, do you know? My mother once said that Yongle City is a place cursed by God, and an eighteen-year-old girl can't be alone, something will happen."
Cursed place? Hearing this, Zhao Yi frowned, but in a blink of an eye, she laughed again, and said, "This little girl, I was almost deceived by you, go to sleep!"
"Really, Sister Zhao, I don't lie to you, you have to believe Xiaoli" Xiaoli seemed to be in a hurry this time, this was said very earnestly, Zhao Yi was suspicious, comforted her and quickly fell asleep.
In fact, at her age, the little girl is already in love, and it is common to misunderstand her and Ye Tao!
Zhao Yi thought about Xiaoli and said when he came back today: "Xiaoli remembers that when he was a child, his father and mother also held Xiaoli's hand like this, my father is here, my mother is here, we will go home together!"
At that time, she was alone with Ye Tao, holding Xiao Li's hand, Xiao Li said and did not forget to indicate which hand it was, as if she didn't notice the embarrassment on Zhao Yi and Ye Tao's faces, and continued,
"Big brother and sister are so kind and loving, it seems to be like my father and mother when they were young, Xiaoli remembers that Xiaoli's mother often wipes sweat for my father!"
I think that her father and mother are also very affectionate, but when the plague was rampant, why did she see her and her mother dependent on each other, where did her father go?
Zhao Yi wanted to continue to investigate, but reason called her back, this doesn't seem to be what she should worry about, this Mingyue Building is not Yao Chi after all, this arrangement is also very different, the inner room and the outer room are only separated by a layer of screen, Zhao Yi has been used to it for a long time, and it is still the same as last night, grinding the pen, writing less than one line, the door was gently knocked, and I don't know who will come in the middle of the night? Maybe someone knocked on the wrong door, Zhao Yi didn't care about him, but the sound came one after another, very light, I didn't want anyone to know, but I never stopped.
After several doubts, Zhao Yi still opened the door, looking at the person who came with a sinister aura, it turned out to be him, Zhao Yi regretted opening this door a little.
Anyway, I went out with Xiaoli to play a lap today, just returned to Mingyue Building, there were more guests, and the shopkeeper couldn't be busy, so he sent a guy to send her and Xiaoli back to the room to rest, this guy was a strange man, Zhao Yi felt that this person didn't seem to be friendly, and now it appeared again, causing Zhao Yi to suspect who called her to follow her.
Zhao Yi asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?"
The guy lowered his eyebrows, handed over the end plate in his hand, and replied with a smile: "Girl, your friend prepared a bowl of ginseng soup for you, and the special one brought it to you,"
Zhao Yi thought that he didn't have any good friends in Mingyue Tower, so he glanced left and right at the man, wondering what the mystery was, of course, this person had to be on guard, Zhao Yi asked intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't know which of my friends prepared it?"
The man opened his mouth to answer, and Ye Tao's calm voice came from behind him,
"Miss Zhao, what's the matter?
Seeing Ye Tao coming over to relieve the siege, Zhao Yi was pleasantly surprised, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, wanting to tease the man in front of him.
"It's nothing, it's just that a friend said that a friend prepared a bowl of ginseng soup for me, I wonder if it's Ye Shaoxia?"
Ye Tao smiled slightly, shook his head, and stared at the bowl of ginseng soup in the man's hand, like ice, the man shuddered, barely had a smile on his face, and asked, "Why hasn't this Ye Shaoxia rested yet?"
Ye Tao said lightly: "It's not easy for people to fall asleep when they have something on their minds."
The man obviously didn't know what Ye Tao meant by answering this, and Zhao Yi was also fluttering with confused peach blossom eyes, and he was confused, so the man was hesitant for a while before he said, "This ginseng soup is for Miss Zhao from the shopkeeper,"
Ye Tao's face did not change and said: "Oh, there is a shopkeeper,"
"Don't dare, don't dare"
It turned out that Zhao Yi didn't need to tease this person, Ye Tao's words were enough to make people's enthusiasm cold, and Zhao Yi only had to watch the show.
Indeed, this man has completely lost his aura in front of Ye Tao, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he also cares about Zhao Yi.
The man coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Then you talk, Miss Zhao, your ginseng soup, the small one will retreat."
Zhao Yi hurriedly took the end plate and responded politely, "Okay! Thank you!"
The man left in a hurry, and seeing his hurried look, Zhao Yi chuckled out gloating.
took the end plate in, but found that Ye Tao did not come in, a few days, he came to her door more than once, but did not enter the house, Zhao Yi asked: "Ye Shaoxia still doesn't come in and sit?"
"No, Xiaoli won't bother when she falls asleep, and Miss Zhao will rest early!"
Ye Tao Zhao Yi is quite optimistic about this, and he never easily steps into this room. Not humble or arrogant, humble and gentlemanly, easy-going to others, what is his weakness in such a person?
Ye Tao walked away a few steps, Zhao Yi only felt that it was not good to test him, and he really had no chance to understand his weaknesses, they all said that people have seven emotions and six desires, I don't know if his junior sister is important to him? Thinking like this, Zhao Yi hurriedly stopped him,
"Ye Shaoxia, can we walk together?"
Ye Tao looked back and was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Outside, the night was like ink, the cool breeze was bleak, and the small courtyard was silent.
Zhao Yi thought about it or thanked others, after all, she helped her out of the siege, "Thank you Ye Shaoxia for helping me out of the siege"
"Miss Zhao doesn't have to be polite, there are a lot of guests in Mingyue Building today, I'm afraid it will be a little uneven, Miss Zhao be more careful, the ginseng soup that guy brought is still not good to drink!"
"Well, okay! Shaoxia helped Xiaoli treat the epidemic on his body a few days ago, he was already a little tired, and he went out early and returned late these days, pay attention to rest!"
Zhao Yi is gentle, really like an ordinary lady, Ye Tao bowed his head, and the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be nothing, "I will, Miss Lao Zhao is worried!"
He is so polite, he seems very rusty, Zhao Yi thought in his heart, don't come to the topic, and asked, "What have you found about the epidemic in the past few days?"
Walking to the idle pavilion in the courtyard, Zhao Yi sat down on the tables and chairs in the pavilion, and there was a pot of tea on the table, but it was cold to the touch.
Ye Tao "Judging from the hearts of the villagers who have been treated, it doesn't look like a plague, but poisoning. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yi was slightly surprised, not because this plague was poisoned, but because he was curious about how Ye Tao could find out so quickly. Zhao Yi raised his eyes to look at Ye Tao who was standing, looking forward to his next words,
"In fact, many years ago, I also treated an epidemic, and their faces were also a little swollen, but not so that all the internal organs were damaged.
Zhao Yi lowered his eyes, his fingers ruffled his hair, and said a little casually: "Their condition is already so serious, no wonder you need to consume so much pure vitality to treat Xiaoli." ”
"Miss Zhao, I heard that the medical skills of the Pulsatilla Ye Lao in Yongle City are exquisite, but now that the Jishi Hall is closed, Ye Lao does not know where to go, I wonder if Miss Zhao knows the whereabouts of Ye Lao?"
"Where did Ye Shaoxia hear that there is such a person in Yongle City?" Zhao Yi said curiously.
Ye Tao smiled and said, "It's a family teacher!"
"Elder Ziyun?" Zhao Yi said in surprise, his face suddenly brightened, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Indeed, Elder Ye respects Elder Ziyun, and also because of his wonderful hand rejuvenation and deep knowledge of Qi Huang's technique, he is very appreciated by Elder Ziyun" Zhao Yi smiled shallowly, Ye Tao couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, looked at Zhao Yi and asked, "So Miss Zhao knows where Elder Ye is?"
After Ye Tao finished speaking, Zhao Yi raised his eyes, and his cold eyes met each other, but Zhao Yi was a little thinner, and he didn't answer for a while. However, this panic was only for a moment, and she immediately came back to her senses and felt that this was a good opportunity.
